  Even if I find this appealing, I wonder why you need to do this whataboutism.

    I think it’s important to point it out. The other rapist is exalted when he should be getting shut down too.

        Yeah. Here:

        amp.theguardian.com/…/a-timeline-of-sexual-assaul…

        Of all those claims, these stuck out:

        • a 16 year old in 2006 when he was 30 and gave her instructions to hide from parents. Underage is rape.

        • In 2012 he is accused of raping a woman who was treated in a Rape Treatment Center afterwards.

        • In 2020, there was another 16 year old and evidently his manager believed him at first and then issued a statement saying he was misled and terminated business with him.

    Just trying to resolve some cognitive dissonance for Trump supporters who maybe haven’t thought about it in these terms.

  Trump supporters are more dangerous.

    I can’t stand Trump but I also can’t stand people who don’t shut up about him either, some people make talking about Trump part of their personality and it’s on both sides… but in this case the way the person framed their comment makes sense
